Colours of my nails

Prije nekog vremena dobila sam ponudu da probam par proizvoda sa OMGNailStrips. Kako i sam naziv kaže, na njihovoj stranici možete naći uglavnom naljepnice za nokte za koje kažu da su napravljene od laka. U asortimanu imaju i folije za nokte, ali ja sam se ipak zadržala na ovim od laka jer su mi djelovale zanimljivije.

Ne znam koliko sam kompetentna da uradim recenziju za ovaj proizvod jer mi je ovo prvi put da tako nešto stavljam na nokte, ali svakako ću pokušati da vam prenesem svoje utiske :)

A while ago I received an offer to try some products from OMGNailStrips . On their site you can find nail polish strips and foils for whole nail. I chose the nail polish strips because they sound more interesting that the foils.

I'm not sure how competent I am for doing a review on a product like this because this is the first time I'm wearing polish wraps, but I'm going to share my impressions anyway :)

Na slici iznad je jedan od dva seta naljepnica koje sam izabrala. Kao što vidite, dizajn je inspirisan paunovim perom i to je upravo razlog zašto sam ih izabrala. U pakovanju dolazi 14 komada u 7 različitih širina.

A evo kako izgledaju na noktima...

On the picture above is one of the two nail polish strip sets I chose. As you can see, the design is inspired by peacock feather which is the reason I chose them. Package contains 14 pieces in 7 different sizes.

And here's how they look like on my nails....

Jako su jednostavne za upotrebu, ali zahtjevaju odredjenu pripremu prije same aplikacije. Potrebno je nokte držati u toploj vodi nekoliko minuta, zatim ukloniti višak kožice, odmastiti površinu nokta koristeći aceton ili alkohol i tek onda preći na naljepnice. Moram priznati da sam ja jednostavno previdjela ovaj dio sa toplom vodom.

Zadnji dio pripreme odnosi se na određivanje veličine za svaki nokat. Nakon toga, jednostavno odrežete naljepnicu, skinete zaštitnu foliju, polako pincetom odvojite naljepnicu sa papira i postavite je na nokat. Počinje se od korijena nokta prema vrhu.

Višak na vrhu se odstranjuje turpijom. Tu sam napravila još jedno odstupanje od preporučenih koraka. Naime, u uputstvima se preporučuje turpijanje na način da se turpija drži paralelno u odnosu na podlogu na kojoj se radi, a ja sam turpijala okomito na nokat.

They are very easy to use, but they require certain preparation before the application. You need to keep your nails in warm water for a few minutes, then remove excess skin around cuticles, degerease the nail surface using acetone or alcohol and then move on with the strips. I must admit that I simply overlooked this part with warm water.

The last part ofthe preparationrefers to thedetermining the appropriate size for each nail. After that, just cut off the desired strip, remove protecting foil, peel of the strip from the base surface using tweezers and place the strip on the nail. You should start from the cuticle to the tip of the nail.

The excess on the top should be removed with a nail file. The manufacturer says that you should file the excess holding the file parallel to the surface you're working on, but I filed it vertically. I don't know, but I just couldn't do it the way they recommend.

Nakon odstranjivanja viška, potrebno je sve nokte "preći" sa štapićem za uši ili komadićem vate umočenim u aceton. To bi trebalo da dodatno "stopi" naljepnicu za nokat i produži trajanje. Kao i kod većine manikira, na kraju ide sloj nadlaka.

Ove naljepnice su mi trajale na noktima tri dana, mada mislim da bi mogle i duže da sam se pridržavala uputstava u potpunosti.

Generalno, zadovoljna sam i više nego što sam očekivala. Sviđa mi se što su jako tanke, fleksibilne i što na noktu ne izgledaju ništa drugačije nego lak za nokte. Ono što mi se ne sviđa je što nigdje ne pišu sastojci, a nema ih ni na stranici i voljela bih da paket sadrži dovoljno komada za bar dva korištenja.

Šta vi mislite? Sviđa li vam se moj izbor? Jeste li nekad koristile nešto slično?

Ako vam se sviđaju ove naljepnice, OMGNailStrips trenutno ima akciju: pakovanje od 4 seta za 20$ (kupon kod "4pack") i pakovanje od 10 za 45$ (kupon kod "10pack").

After filing all the excess, swipe all nails with a Q-tip dipped in polish remover. It should melt down strips to the nail and make them last longer. Like most of the manicures, this one also requires a layer of top coat.

These strips lasted on my nails for three days, but I guess it could of been longer if I strictly hold on to the instructions.

Overall, I'm satisfied more than I though I would be. I like that they are very thin, flexible and the way they look on the nails. Pretty much the same as the nail polish. What I don't like is that there is no ingredients list nowhere on the product nor on the website, and I would like if there was more strips in a set so I could wear them at least twice.

What do you think? Do you like my choice? Have you ever worn anything like this?

If you liked these OMG nail strips, they are currently offering a 4 for $20 promotion with coupon code “4pack” and a 10 for $45 with the coupon code “10pack”.

Till next post...

Iako je moj Božić tek za petnaestak dana, povukla me božićna atmosfera na brojnim blogovima koje pratim pa je današnji manikir potpuno u prazničnom duhu. Nešto što sam jako dugo htjela uraditi, ali mi je uvijek nedostajalo ili vremena, ili nisam imala odgovarajuci lak/pribor...

Danas su se kockice konačno složile, pa evo mojih Božićnih zvijezdica...

Even though my Christmas is for fifteen days, I've been affected by atmosphere all over the nail blogs I follow so the manicure I'll show you today is entirelyinthe holidayspirit. It's something I wanted to do for a long time, but I always lacked the time, or didn't have the polish/accessories I needed...

Today, all the pieces finally got together, and here are my Poinsettia nails...

Koristila sam pravu malu armiju lakova i pribora :)

Here's what I used...

Eveline 8u1- baza
Flormar 400 - bijeli lak kao podloga
Golden Rose Rich Color 21 - crvene latice
Flormar 435 (iz 2012 kolekcije) - zelene latica
Flormar 313 - konture oko latica
Avon Mirorr Shine u nijansi Gold Foil - tačkice u sredini cvijeta
Golden Rose With Protein 308 - na vrhovima noktiju (nanesen spužvicom)
Golden Rose Gel Look + Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top sealer
(prvo sam stavila sloj GR nadlaka zato što on ne razmazuje dizajn, pa sloj BTGN-a da to sve osuši :D)

Za crtanje sam koristila ova dva kista i tačkalicu koje vidite na slici iznad, a dio su ovog JR1131 seta kistova za nail art koji sam nedavno dobila od KKCenterHK.

Eveline 8in1 - base coat
Flormar 400 - white (base color)
Golden Rose Rich Color 21 - red petals
Flormar 435 (2012 collection) - green petals
Flormar 313 - petal edges
Avon Mirror Shine - Gold Foil - dots in the middle of the flower
Golden Rose With Protein 308 - sponged on the nail tips
Golden Rose Gel Look + Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top sealer
(First I applied a layer of GR top coat because it doesn't smudge the design, and then a layer of BTGN to dry the whole thing :D)

For the drawing I used these three brushes from the photo above, part of this JR1131 nail art brush set I recently got from KKCenterHK.

Eto, to je otprilike to. Nadam se da nisam pretjerala sa slikama :)
Sviđa li vam se? Jeste li nosili nešto slično? Ako niste, hoćete li :)?

Puno pozdrava do sledećeg posta i sretan Božić vama koji danas slavite :*

Well, that's about it. I hope you don't mind the amount of the pictures :)
Do you like it? Have you ever worn anything like that? If you haven't, will you?

Greetingsuntilthe next postandMerry Christmas to youwhoare celebrating today:*

Danas ću vam pokazati još jedan novitet među mojim lakovima koji već neko vrijeme čeka na red. Riječ je o Golden Rose 3D Glaze Top Coat laku u nijansi 05. 3D Glaze je jedna od novijih kolekcija i sastoji se od 14 nijansi koje su predviđene da se nose kao nadlak.

Nijansa 05 se sastoji od srebrnog i holo glitera u providnoj rozoj bazi. Ja sam je odmah zamislila u kombinaciji sa nekim tamnim lakom. Evo kako je ispala kombinacija...

Today I'm going to show you another new nail polish which has been waiting for its turn for quite a while. It's Golden Rose 3D Glaze Top Coat 05. 3D Glaze is one of the new collections and its made of 14 shades that are made to be used as a top coat.

Shade 05 is made of silver and holo glitter in a sheer pinkish base, and I thought it would be perfect over some dark nail polish. Here's my combination...

Šljokice sam nanijela u dva sloja preko tamno ljubičastog Avon - Midnight Plum laka. Znam da izgleda skoro crn, ali nije. U pitanju je prava tamna šljivasta nijansa. To je jedan od najstarijih lakova u mojoj kolekciji i ne pretjerujem kada kažem da ga imam već 10 godina.

I applied this glitters in two coats over dark purple Avon - Midnight Plum nail polish. I know it looks almost black on the pictures, but it isn't. It's actually one of the oldest nail polishes I own, and I'm not exaggeratingwhen I say thatI have itfor 10 years.

Iako sam ja nanijela dva, jedan sloj ovih šljokica je sasvim dovoljan jer je lak zaista krcat šljokicama. Začuđujuće lako se raspoređuje, tako da sam ga nanosila normalno a ne tapkanjem kao neke druge gliter lakove.

Even though I applied two coats, one would be enough because this varnish is crowded with glitter. It's surprisingly easy to spread over the nail, so there was no need to use the dabbing method.

Sve u svemu. nisam nešto pretjerano oduševljena ovim lakom. Ljepše mi je izgledao u bočici nego na noktima. Valjda sam navikla na efekat koji daju Jolly Jewels lakovi, pa mi ovaj djeluje nekako obično uprkos holo gliteru.

Da ga nisam dobila na poklon, sama ga najvjerovatnije ne bih kupila...

Šta vi kažete? Imate li koji 3D Glaze lak? Neku drugu nijansu za preporučiti?

Za kraj, želim vam sve najbolje u 2014! Do čitanja...

All in all, I'm not too impressed with this polish. It looked better in the bottle than on the nails. I guess I got used to the wow effect Jolly Jewels gives, so this one looks too ordinary.

If I haven't got it as a gift, I would probably never buy it myself...

What do you think? Do you like it?

In the end, I wish you all the best in 2014! Till next post....

Jako je malo lakova koje imam a da su me oduševili kao ovaj koji ću vam danas pokazati. Iz naslova ste već mogli vidjeti da se radi o Golden Rose Holiday 66 laku, koji je dio kolekcije teksturisanih/pješčanih lakova. Holiday kolekcija je stara već nekoliko mjeseci, i za sada broji oko 40 nijansi. Dolaze u bočicama istim kao kod GR magnetnih lakova, ali im srebrni čep daje nešto elegantniji izgled. Sadrže 11,3 ml proizvoda i četkicu koja nije ona standardna metlasta a nije ni široka kao kod Rich Color lakova. U svakom slučaju, meni odlično radi posao pa nakon lakiranja nemam puno posla oko čišćenja.

There are a very few nail polishes I own that impressed me like the one I'm going to show you today. You could already see from the title that it's about Golden Rose Holiday 66, which is part of the textured/sand collection. Holiday collection is a few months old, and currently has about 40 different shades. Polishes come in the same bottles like GR Magnetic, but the silver cap gives them a bit more elegant look. Bottle contains 11,3 ml of the product and the brush that is not the standard one, but not as wide as in Rich Color varnishes.
Anyway, it makes the application very easy and leaves almost nothing to clean after painting.

Ukoliko pratite moj blog duže vrijeme, sigurno ste primjetili da nisam baš riječita kada treba opisati boju. Nekako volim kada taj posao urade fotografije, a čini mi se da će u ovom postu to da urade prilično dobro.

Ono što bih mogla da spomenem je da mi se sviđa kako ovaj lak izgleda u odnosu na moju boju i podton kože... A kada bih ipak morala da opišem, ukratko bih rekla da je ovo jedna intenzivna koralna boja sa malo više roze.

If you're following my blog for a while, surely you've noticed that I'm not very eloquent when it comes to the describe a color. Somehow I prefer when photographs do that part of the work, and it seems to me that in this post they do it pretty good. What I could mention is that I like how this particular shade matches my skin tone... But, when I had to describe the color I would say that this is one intense coral with a little more pink in it.

Formula i pigmentacija su odlične, pa tako ova nijansa daje potpuno i ravnomjerno prekrivanje u dva sloja.

Izuzetno brzo se suši i jako dugo traje na noktima, što je zaista za pohvalu imajući u vidu da se preko ovakvih lakova ne nanosi nadlak. Nosila sam ga rekordnih sedam dana.

Šta vi mislite? Volite li nositi teksturisane lakove? Sviđa li vam se ova nijansa?

Puno pozdrava do sledećeg posta :***

The formulaandpigmentationare excellent, soit providesa full andevencoverageintwo coats. It dries really fast and lasts on the nails for days, which is a pretty big deal considering the fact you shouldn't wear a top coat over textured nail polish.

What do you think? Do you like to wear textured nail polish? Do you like this one?
Till next post :***

Drugi lak iz Golden Rose Holiday kolekcije koji ću vam pokazati je broj 78. Na prvi pogled nijansa mi je djelovala kao pastelna narandžasta sa raznobojnim sitnim shimmerom. Ali, na noktima izgleda dosta drugačije. Kao da je u pitanju drugi lak...

Pastelna boja iz bočice, na noktu se pretvara u jednu intenzivnu mat, skoro neon, narandžastu boju a shimmer misteriozno nestaje i pojavljuje se tek u vidu zlatnih čestica samo na vještačkom svjetlu. Baš kao pravi pjesak.

The second nail polish from a Golden Rose Holiday collection I'm going to show you is number 78. At the first sight it looked like a pastel orange with multicolored shimmer. But, on the nails, it looks totally different. As it was another nail polish...

Pastel from the bottle becomes intense matte, almost neon, orange color, and the shimmer shows up in the form of gold particles only in artificial light. Like the real sand.

Što se tiče nanošenja, dva normalna sloja su sasvim dovoljna za potpuno i ravnomjerno prekrivanje nokta. Suši se izuzetno brzo i na noktima traje jako dugo. I ovaj lak sam nosila pet-šest dana.

Jedino po čemu mi je ovaj lak možda malo manje drag od onog iz prošlog posta je skidanje. Onaj shimmer koji je misteriozno nestao, pojavi se upravo tada, zaljepljen za nokat. Nije da je toliko teško da se mora koristiti tehnika sa folijom, ali definitivno teže nego obični lakovi...

As for theapplicationtwostandard layersare quitesufficient tocompletelyandevenlycover thenail.It driesveryquickly andlastsfor days.Iworethis polishfor five or sixdays.

U zadnjem paketiću koji sam dobila sa KKCenterhk bili su i ovi preslatki leptirići koje ćete moći vidjeti u nastavku posta. Leptirići su zapravo vodene naljepnice koje sam izabrala jer sam bila jako zadovoljna prethodnim koje sam vam pokazala u ovom postu, a evo kako sam ih iskombinovala...

In the last package I received from KKCenterhk were these cute little butterflies which you can see in the post below. Butterflies are actually water decals which I choose because I was very satisfied with the ones from this post. Here's how I combined them...

Pored naljepnica NNAIL-WDSY035 , koristila sam bijeli Flormar 400, plavi Flormar 423 i žuti Catrice Bye Bye Birdie koji na slikama izgleda dosta intenzivniji nego što jeste i zbog kojem sam zamalo odustala od objavljivanja ovog posta.

For this manicure, other than NNAIL-WDSY035 water decals, I used white Flormar 400, light blue Flormar 423 and pastel yellow Catrice Bye Bye Birdie, which looks much more intense in the pictures than it is and I was thinking not to publish this post because of it.

O korištenju naljepnica već sam pisala, ali evo da ponovim: Željeni dio izrezati sa papira, potopiti u vodu na nekoliko sekundi, odvojiti pincetom od podloge te staviti na nokat. Zatim, obrisati kapljice vode koje su dospjele na nokat i prelakirati slojem nadlaka.

Nadam se da vam se sviđa ovaj manikir... Pišite mi u komentarima...

A ukoliko želite da naručite set vodenih naljepnica ili nešto drugo sa KKCenterhk, ne zaboravite 10% popusta uz kod COMN10 prilikom plaćanja.

I have already written about using water decals, but let me repeat: Cut the desired part of the paper, soak it in water for a few seconds, peel it off the surface using tweezers and place on the nail. Then, wipe off the water from the nails and seal the whole design with a layer of top coat.

I hope you like it...

Prije par dana sam na poklon dobila nekoliko lakova među kojima je bio i ovaj Manhattan Pastel Pretties 004 koji ćete danas vidjeti. Do sada nisam imala zaista ni jedan Manhattan lak i nisam u toku sa asortimanom, ali sam malo pronjuškala po internetu i našla da je Pastel Pretties limitirana kolekcija iz maja prošle godine. Dio kolekcije namjenjen noktima činile su četiri pastelne nijanse lakova, od kojih sam dobila još i nijansu 003 koju ću vam pokazati u nekom od narednih postova.

A couple of days ago I got a few varnishes as a gift. Among them, there was this Manhattan Pastel Pretties 004 which you'll see today. So far, in my collection I didn't have any Manhattan nail polishes, and I'm not familiar with the assortment. But, I found on the internet that the Pastel Pretties was a limited edition from May last year. As for the nails, that part of the collection consisted of four pastel shades nail polish, of which I also got shade 003 and you'll be able to see it in one of my next posts.

Sama nijansa je divna, nešto između pastelne plave i tirkizne. Tirkiznom je čini ta primjesa zelene boje koja na slikama, nažalost, nije došla do potpunog izražaja.
A mazivost? Pa, otprilike kao i kod većine pastelnih lakova. Maže se neravnomjerno, ne toliko da se ne može postići prihvatljiv izgled ali opet nije za zanemariti. Sloj nadlaka malo popravi stvari. Za pokrivanje su mu potrebna najmanje tri sloja. Ima nešto kraću četkicu nego što sam navikla, ali to je vjerovatno zato što je ovo manja verzija Manhattan lakova koja sadrži 7 ml.

The color is really beautiful, something between pastel blue and turquoise. I had nothing like it in my collection.
Formula isn't so great, it's a bit streaky and needs at least three coats for full coverage. But, one layer of top coat makes it look pretty much evenly. It has a shorter brush then I used to, but I suppose that's because this is the smaller version of Manhattan nail polish which contains only 7 ml.

Na noktima mi je trajao neka tri-četiri dana kada su se počele pojavljivati one "pukotine" koje su, opet, karakteristične za pastelne lakove. Sve u svemu, bojom sam oduševljena, a kvalitet je mogao biti malo bolji...

Šta vi kažete? Imate li iskustva sa Manhattan lakovima? Neku zanimljivu nijansu za preporučiti?

Puno pozdrava do sledećeg posta... :****

It lasted on my nails for three or four days when the "cracks" (characteristic for pastels) started showing up. My overall impression: I love the color, but the quality could be a little better...

What do you think? Do you have any varnishes by Manhattan? Some interesting shade to recommend?

Till next post... :****

U proteklih mjesec dana pisala sam vam o dva Holiday laka (66 i 78), međutim oni su bili nekako više ljetni i prigodni tadašnjim vremenskim prilikama. A sada, kada su nam se zima i snijeg vratili, pravo je vrijeme za lakove poput Golden Rose Holiday 70. Ja najčešće nisam sklona dijeljenju lakova po godišnjim dobima, ali ovo je jednostavno jedan od onih koji asociraju na snijeg...

In the past month I wrote about two Golden Rose Holiday nail polishes (66 and 78), but they were kind of more spring/summer colors that fit with weather occasions back then. And now, when winter and snow came back, it's time for varnishes like Golden Rose Holiday 70. I'm usually not the person who classifies varnishes by seasons, but this is the one which simply reminds of snow...

Slike iznad su slikane na direktnom sunčevom svjetlu i ovaj put je bitno da to spomenem jer je ova nijansa pravi kameleon u zavisnosti od osvjetljenja. Pored bijele (ne baš čisto bijele) teksturisane baze, sadrži i okrugli duohrom gliter i šimer koji se presijava od žute/narandžaste do zelene boje. Zapravo sam se iznenadila kada sam vidjela lak uživo, jer ni na jednom swatchu koji sam vidjela taj glitter se ne vidi.

A evo kako izgleda na dnevnom osvjetljenju, bez sunca...

Pictures were taken in direct sunlight, and this time it's important to mention because this nail polish is a real chameleon depending on the lightening. Besides the white (actually off white) textured base, it contains round duochrome glitter and shimmer that glistens from yellow/orange to green. I was really surprised when I saw it in person, because none of the swatches seen previously showed that glitter.

Here's how it looks in the daylight, without direct sunlight...

Nadam se da primjetite taj gliter o kojem vam govorim :). Na slikama imam tri tanja sloja laka, jer se nakon drugog još uvijek vidjela linija nokta. Suši se jako brzo, kao i prethodne dvije nijanse o kojima sam pisala a na noktima ga imam već četiri dana bez oštećenja.

Holiday lakove možete nabaviti u novootvorenomwww.makeuparena.ba online shopu po cijeni od 4,5 KM. Pored ovih lakova, tu možete naći i ostatatak Golden Rose asortimana, popularnu NYX kozmetiku koja je tek odnedavno dostupna u BiH, Blush kistove za šminkanje itd... Dostavu, naravno, vrše na teritoriji cijele BiH...

Hvala na čitanju...

I hope you can see the glitter I'm talking about :). I have three layers on my nails, two were not enough and the nail line was still visible. It dries really fast, like the other two I wrote about. I have it on my nails for four days.

You can get Holiday nail polishes at thewww.makeuparena.ba online shop. Besides the Holiday collection, you can also find the rest of the Golden Rose assortment, popular NYX cosmetics, Blush makeup brushes, etc...

Već neko vrijeme je prošlo otkad vam nisam predstavila neku od Rich Color nijansi iz Golden Rose asortimana. Svi koji me prate duže vrijeme znaju koliko sam bila, i ostala, oduševljena ovom kolekcijom. Svaki put kada trebam neki brzinski manikir biram njih, što zbog pigmentacije, što zbog izuzetne četkice o kojoj sam već nekoliko puta govorila.
Danas nastavljam sa Rich Color lakovima, i to sa divnom nijansom broj 34...

It's been a while since I wrote about Rich Color varnishes from the Golden Rose assortment. All of you who has been following me for some time know how I was, and still am, delighted with this collection. Every time I need quick manicure, I chose them because of the pigmentation and the amazing brush.

Today I'm moving on with Rich Color swatches with this beautiful shade under No.34...

To je jedna divna, bogata tzv. burgundy nijansa krcata shimmerom koja savršeno prekriva već sa prvim slojem. Ja na slikama imam dva, kao i uvijek, iz navike :). Maže se skoro sam, u čemu mu osim odlične formule pomaže i četkica koju sam gore spomenula. Trajnost je srednja, nije kao kod kremastih nijansi iz kolekcije i nakon dan-dva lak se istroši na vrhovima. Za moje pojmove to i nije neki nedostatak jer svakako često mijenjam lakove... A i koliko sam primjetila, to je zajednička karakteristika lakovima ovog tipa (shimmer/metalik)...

It's a lovely rich burgundy shade packed with a lot of shimmer which covers in only one layer. In the pictures, I have two (habit :)). The great formula and a perfect brush provide really smooth application. But, in doesn't last long as the cream shades from Rich Color collection do. After a day or two there is visible tip wear. For me, it's not a big deal because I change nail polish very often. Also, I noticed that it's a very common thing for this kind of nail polish (shimmer/metallic finish)...

Iako ovo definitivno nije boja za kojom često posežem, ova nijansa mi se jako sviđa... Daje tu neku dozu elegancije koja ga čini prigodnim za neke formalne prilike. Bar sam ja dobila takav utisak :)

Ukoliko se i vama sviđa, sve Rich Color lakove (kao i ostatak Golden Rose asortimana) možete naći na www.makeuparena.ba online shopu po cijeni od 2,5 KM.

Hvala na čitanju...

Even this is not one of the colors I'm often wearing, I like this shade very much. It gives that elegant look, perfect for some special occasions.

If you like this shade, you can find it at www.makeuparena.baonline shop. You can also find the rest of the Rich Color collection as well as the whole GR range.

Thank you for stopping by...

Nekoliko zadnjih postova odnosilo se najviše na swatcheve lakova, pa mi je ovo Valentinovo dobro došlo da se malo posvetim nail art-u i da nosim "slatke" manikire sa srcima, iako nisam osoba koja ga slavi. Imala sam par kombinacija u glavi, ali sam znala da sve zajedno mora da izgleda nježno, slatko i naravno da bude u pastelnim bojama. U te svrhe mi je odlično poslužio Astor Fashion Studio 134, divna pastelna boja lavande, koju sam nedavno dobila na poklon...

The last few posts on blog referred to nail polish swatches, so I used this upcoming Valentine's Day for some nail art inspiration and wearing "cute" heart manicures, even though I'm not the kind of person who celebrates it :). I had few combinations on my mind, but I knew it had to look cute, gentle and pastel. Astor Fashion Studio 134 I recently got as a gift served as a perfect base for the design. It's a lovely lavender shade...

Formula mu je daleko od savršene, pa su mi trebala tri deblja sloja kako bih dobila ujednačeno prekrivanje. Također, treba ga nanijeti u što manje poteza jer ostaju tragovi četkice ostavljajući prazna mjesta na noktu.

Tačkice sam radila sa Golden Rose Rich Color 32 i Flormar 400 (kreč bijeli)...

The formula is not great, so I needed three thicker coats to get full and even coverage. Also, it leaves visible brush strokes and requires really fast application with only a few moves.

As for the dots, I did them whit Golden Rose Rich Color 32 and Flormar 400 (white)...

Nadam se da vam se sviđa i da će nekoj od vas poslužiti kao inspiracija...

Hvala na čitanju...

I hope you like it and I hope it'll serve as an inspiration for some of you...

Thank you for stoping by...

Za promjenu, danas imam jednu mat kombinaciju na noktima. Moram priznati da sam nekako zaboravila na mat nadlak koji imam, ali kako sam imala želju da probam novi crni lak Golden Rose Rich Color 35 i Golden Rose Sweet Color 49 učinilo mi se da će matirani biti pun pogodak...

For a change, today I'm wearing matte combination. I have to admit that I kind of forgot about the matte top coat I have, but since I wanted to try out my new black nail polish Golden Rose Rich Color 35 and Golden Rose Sweet Colo 49 I thought they would look great matted...

Crni lak, čija dva sloja su poslužila kao baza za ovaj mat manikir, ćete vidjeti detaljnije u nekom od narednih postova. Ne znam za vas, ali meni je dobar crni lak nešto što "moram" imati u kolekciji pa se nekako osjećam dužnom da ga predstavim na pravi način za sve vas koji ste u potrazi za istim :).

Sweet Color 49 se sastoji od šestouganog glitera koji u zavisnosti od ugla gledanja mijenja boju iz žute u zelenu i iz zelene u plavu. Ja sam ga nanijela u dva sloja preko crnog. Gliter se malo teže raspoređuje, što se i vidi na slikama... Bilo bi bolje da sam ga nanosila tapkanjem. Kod ovih lakova bočice su dosta manje od standardnih i sadrže 5,5 ml.

Black nail polish, which served as a base for this manicure, you'll be able to see in some of the upcoming posts. I don't know about you, but good black nail polish is a must have for me so I feel the need to share it with you when I find it :).

Sweet Color 49 contains iridescent glitter which changes its color depending on the point of view... From yellow to green, and from green to blue color. On the pictures I have two coats, over black. It's a bit hard to apply, because it leaves spots without glitter. But, I ques it would be better if I dabbed it on. The bottle is smaller that the others in GR range, and it contains 5,5 ml.

Mat nadlak koji sam ovdje koristila je Miss Sporty Check Matte...

Golden Rose Rich Color, kao i Sweet Colorlakove možete nabaviti na www.makeuparena.ba po cijeni od 2,5 KM i 1,2 KM.

Šta vi mislite o ovoj kombinaciji? Volite li mat nokte?
Hvala na čitanju...

The matte top coat I used here is Miss Sporty Check Matte...

Thanks for stoping by... :***

Prateći razne kolekcije koje Golden Rose izbacuje u zadnje vrijeme, pomalo sam zanemarila jednu od mojih omiljenih - Jolly Jewels. Međutim, kada sam birala lakove za recenziju sa Makeup Arena web shopa, sjetila sam se da mi neki od ovih ljepotana već duže vrijeme stoje na listi želja.

Nijansa koju ću vam danas predstaviti je br. 120...

Lately, Golden Rose released a significant number of collections, so I kind of forgot about one of my favorites - Jolly Jewels. But, when I chose nail polishes from a Makeup Arena web shop I remembered that some of them were on my wish list for quite a while.

The shade I'm going to show you today is 120...

Radi se o mješavini krupnog i nešto sitnijeg glitera crvene, ljubičaste, roze i zlatne boje u providnoj bazi. Kao i drugi Jolly Jewels lakovi, i ovaj je zaista krcat gliterom. Ponekad se toliko glitera nađe na četkici da možete dobiti skoro potpuno pokrivanje bez ikakvog baznog laka. Ali, ja radije stavim dva tanja sloja kako bi bio koliko toliko ravnomjerno rasporedjen.

It's a mixture of large and a bit smaller glitter in red, purple, pink and gold color in a clear base. Like all the other Jolly Jewels I own, this one is also crowded with glitter. Sometimes, there is so much glitter on the brush that you can get almost full coverage without any base color. But, I prefer applying two thinner layers so the glitter look as even as possible.

Uglavnom, još jedna fantastična kombinacija glitera za sve nas ljubitelje šljokičavih noktiju. A za sve vas koji još uvijek muku mučite sa struganjem glitera sa nokta, malo podjećanje na tutorijal (klik).

Kao podlogu, ovaj put sam koristila dva sloja Golden Rose Rich Color 26.

Jolly Jewels lakove, kao i ostatak Golden Rose asortimana uključujući nove teksturisane Galaxy lakove, možete kupiti na www.makeuparena.ba. Cijena im je 4 KM.

Volite li šljokičaste lakove? Imate li neki Jolly Jewels?

Hvala na čitanju, i sretan vam 8. Mart :)

Anyway, this is another great glitter combination for all of us who love that glittery look of the nails. And for all of you who are still avoiding glitter nail polishes because you don't know how to remove, here's a little reminder on a tutorial I did.

The base color for this layering manicure was Golden Rose Rich Color 26.

You can buy Jolly Jewels at www.makeuparena.ba. There is also the rest of the Golden Rose assortment, including the new Galaxy collection.

Do you like glittery nails? Do you own any Jolly Jewels?

Thank you for stopping by, and happy 8. March :)

Danas ću vam pokazati još jedan tekturisani lak iz Golden Rose Holiday kolekcije. Riječ je o nijansi broj 54, koja je nešto drugačija od prethodne tri koje ste imali prilike vidjeti ovdje na blogu...

Drugačija je jer pored teksturisane baze sadrži i krupni gliter koji daje potpuno drugačiji izgled u poređenju sa ostalim.

Evo kako izgleda...

Today I'm going to show you another textured Golden Rose Holiday nail polish. It's shade called 54, which is a bit different than the previous three you could see on my blog...

It's different because it contains large glitter which gives this shade another dimension compared to the others I have.

Here is how it looks...

Lak je neke srednje sive boje sa totalno neobičnim podtonom koji u zavisnosti od osvjetljenja može da vuče na rozu ili lila boju. Prilično je teško uhvatiti taj neobični podton i nadam se da ga primjetite na slikama...

Nanosi se savršeno, sa dva sloja daje potpuno i ujednačeno prekrivanje a kao i prethodnici na noktima traje tri-četiri dana bez oštećenja.

Moram spomenuti da je trajnost laka jako subjektivna stvar, pa tako ono što meni traje danima, nekima ne traje ni jedan. Takođe, zavisi i od pripreme nokta te od vrste baznog laka koji se koristi ispod, ukoliko se koristi.

The nail polish is gray with some unusual undertone, which can look pink or lilac depending on lightening conditions. It's been hard to capture that undertone, and I hope you can see it in the photos...

The application is perfect, two coats are enough for full and even coverage, and it lasts on nails for three or four days without any damage.

I must say that the lasting of nail polish is very subjective thing, and what lasts on my nails for days, on someone else will not. Also, it depends on the nail preparation and base coat...

Ovo je jedan od lakova koje jako često nosim u zadnje vrijeme. Dobila sam ga početkom januara, a nosila sam ga već tri ili četiri puta, što je vjerujte, za mene puno.

Teksturisani lakovi su nešto čemu se često vraćam kada su u pitanju brzi manikiri, što zbog brzine sušenja, što zbog toga što im ne treba nadlak a nanose se savršeno.

Golden Rose Holiday lakove možete naći na Makeup Arena web shopu, po cijeni od 4,50 KM (oko 2,20 EUR).

Imate li već neki od Holiday lakova? Jeste li oduševljene ovako kao ja :)?

Hvala na čitanju...

It's one of the nail polishes I use a lot lately. I got it in January, and I already wore it three or four times, which is a lot for someone like me.

Textured nail polishes are something that I wear a lot when it comes to quick manicure, and it's because they are drying really fast, don't need a top coat over and have the perfect application formula.

You can find Golden Rose Holiday varnishes at Makeup Arenaonline store. They cost about 2,2 EUR.

Do you have any Holiday nail polishes? Are you satisfied like I am?

Thank you for stopping by...

*PR Sample/PR Uzorak

Nije me bilo već neko vrijeme, ali se nadam da ću nekako uspjeti uskladiti blog sa ostatkom obaveza te da ću pisati postove češće jer imam još mnoštvo lakova koje vam nisam pokazala, a i novi oblik noktiju je tu :)

Za početak, pokazaću vam savršen "čokoladni" lak, koji sam dobila od Marine sa bloga Marry's Raveland. (klik). Kod nje sam prije nekih mjesec dana vidjela recenziju Aura Professional lakova, i ostala zatečena ljepotom nijanse pod imenom 52 Vintage Mood. To sam, naravno, napisala u komentarima, pa mi je Marina odlučila pokloniti ovu smeđu divotu. I još neke sitnice...

I was gone for a while, but I still hope that I will be able to spend more time on writing blog posts because I have a bunch of nail polishes I want to show and a new nail shape :).

In the beginning, I'll show you the perfect "chocolate" nail polish, which I got from Marina from Marry's Raveland (click) blog. About a month ago I saw her review of Aura Professional nail polishes, and I fell in love with the shade called 52 Vintage Mood. I wrote it in the comments, of course... So, Marina decided to send me this chocolate beauty. And some other things...

Nećete vjerovati, ali do sada nisam imala opremu za pečatiranje :)

Ali, da se vratim na lak. Vjerovatno vam nije jasno čemu toliko uzbuđenje oko smeđeg laka, ali eto ja ih obožavam. I jako, jako dugo tražim savršenu nijansu koja liči na mliječnu čokoladu a da ne vuče na boju blata, kao što obično bude. To sam u ovom laku konačno našla, i žao mi je što ima samo 6 ml :(.

You will not believe this, but I didn't have stamping equipment so far :)

But, lets talk about Vintage Mood. You probably don't understand why so much excitement about brown nail polish, but I just love them. And, I've been looking for a perfect chocolate shade for years :). It's supposed to be like milk chocolate, without muddy undertones in it. I finally found it and I'm sorry it contains only 6 ml...

Što se tiče kvaliteta i mazivosti, prekriva u dva sloja. Ponegdje su mi ostali tragovi četkice, ali sloj nadlaka je popravio stvari. Na noktima mi je trajao neka tri-četiri dana.

It gives full coverage in two layers. There were a few visible brush strokes, but a layer of top coat fixed it.

It lasted on my nails for three or four days.

A novi oblik... U principu, zadovoljna sam, ali još se nisam ispraksala kako da slikam a da izgleda kao uživo. Nekako mi na slikama djeluju kraći i obliji nego što jesu.

Šta vi mislite o novom obliku? I, sviđa li vam se lak?

Hvala na čitanju...

About the new shape... I like it, but I still haven't found the perfect angle for taking pictures. They look shorter and rounder on the pictures, then they actually are.

What do you think about almond shaped nails? Do you like the nail polish?

Thanks for stopping by...

Već odavno znate koliko volim Golden Rose Rich Color lakove i koliko sam zadovoljna kvalitetom, pakovanjem, cijenom, četkicom, itd... Također, već sam spomenula da su to lakovi za kojima najčešće posežem kada su u pitanju brzinski manikiri a i nail art. Razlog za to je četkica koja omogućava vrlo lako nanošenje u samo par poteza pri čemu pravi savršen luk pri korijenu nokta, a i pigmentacija pojedinih nijansi.

A danas ću vam pokazati jednu mint nijansu, pod brojem 44...

You already know how much I love Golden Rose Rich Color nail polishes and how satisfied I am with their quality, bottle, price, brush, etc... I have also mentioned that those are nail polishes I use very frequently when it comes to fast manicure and nail art. The reason for that is amazing brush which provides the perfect application in only a few moves, and great pigmentation some of them have.

Today I'm going to show you mint shade called 44 :)...

Ali, moram priznati da ovaj lak ima malo lošiju formulu u odnosu na ostale iz ove kolekcije. Prilikom nanošenja se dešava da ponegdje ostanu neravnine i "ćelava" mjesta, pogotovo kada je prvi sloj u pitanju. Drugi u velikoj mjeri popravi stvari, ali ipak mislim da je nadlak neophodan.

But, I have to admit that this one has a bit different formula comparing to the rest of the collection. During the application, it can leave visible brush strokes and bold spots, especially with the first layer. The second one makes things much better, but I still think that the topcoat is necessary.

Još jedna zanimljiva stvar vezana za ovaj lak je da sam pogledala veliki broj swatcheva na internetu, a nisam primjetila ni pročitala da sadrži shimmer. Očekivala sam čistu kremu, i zaista se iznenadila kada sam uočila jako, jako sitni zeleni shimmer u bočici. Na noktima se skoro i ne vidi, tj. vidi se samo na direktnoj sunčevoj svjetlosti iz neposredne blizine, ali kada ga posmatrate u bočici jasno dolazi do izražaja.

Za kraj, podsjećam da Rich Color lakove možete kupiti u Makeup Arena (klik) web shopu, po cijeni od 2,5 KM.

Sviđa li vam se ovaj lak? Imate li nešto slično?

Hvala na čitanju...

Another interesting thing about this nail polish is that I have seen a lot of swatches before I got it, but I haven't noticed that it contains shimmer. I expected cream finished nail polish, and I was very surprised when I saw that fine green shimmer in bottle. It's almost invisible on the nails, but you can see it in the bottle.

In the end, I remind you that you can find Rich Color nail polishes at the Makeup Arena (click) web shop.

Do you like this nail polish? Or, maybe you own something similar?

Thank you for stopping by...

Ne znam da li se sjećate ili ne, ali prije nekog vremena sam pisala o Manhattan laku iz Pastell Preties kolekcije pod brojem 004 (link). Tada sam također spomenula kako sam dobila još jedan iz iste kolekcije te da ću vam ga uskoro i pokazati.

Pod tim uskoro, nisam mislila na tri mjeseca, ali eto :D...

I don't know do you remember or not, but before a while I wrote about Manhattan Pastell Preties 004 nail polish (link) . I also mentioned that I got another one from the same collection, and that I'm going to show it to you soon.
When I said soon, it should not last three months, but well :D...

Manhattan Pastell Preties 003 je prava proljetna nijansa, lila sa dosta hladnog/plavog podtona. Naravno, to je čini teškom za slikanje, jer ispada više plava nego što jeste.

Formula je zadovoljavajuća, prekriva sa dva deblja sloja ponegdje ostavljajući neravnine. Nešto bolja nego kod prethodne nijanse o kojoj sam pisala.

Ali, kako sam ja veliki ljubitelj pastelnih lakova, zbog boje opraštam i malo teže nanošenje.

Manhattan Pastell Preties 003 is a true spring nail polish shade, lilac with a cold / blue undertone. Of course, it makes it look bluer in the pictures than it actually is.
Formula is not the best, but it gives full coverage with two thicker coats. Also, it leaves visible brush strokes. But, it's still better that with the previous one.
Although, as a big fan of pastel nail polishes, I don't mind to invest some extra effort for colors like this.

Već sam rekla da nemam puno iskustva sa Manhattan lakovima, ali ono što mi smeta kod ova dva koja imam jeste to što u toku lakiranja svaki put kada trebam umočiti četkicu u lak, moram da zavrnem čep. Ako ne zavrnem, četkica ne može da "dohvati" dovoljno laka, i samim tim uzrokuje neuredan izgled.
Ovo se odnosi na sva Manhattan mini pakovanja lakova koja dolaze u ovim bočicama, a za one sa standardnom mililitražom ne znam. Nadam se da nemaju ovaj problem.

Imate li vi iskustva sa Manhattan lakovima? Sviđa li vam se ova nijansa?
Hvala na izdvojenom vremenu :)
Do čitanja...

I already told that I don't have much experience with Manhattan nail polish, but the thing which bothers me with these two I have is that every time I need to dip the brush into nail polish I have to twist the cap. If I don't twist it all the way, the brush will not pick enough nail polish.
This is the problem with all Manhattan mini nail polishes that come in the bottles like this. I hope the full sized ones do not have this problem.

Do you have any experience with Manhattan nail polishes? What do you think about the shade I showed you in this post?
Thank you for your time :)
Till next post...

Što su mi nokti duži, to mi se više sviđa ovaj novi bademasti oblik, pa u skladu sa tim nosim manikire za koje sam uvijek smatrala da više odgovaraju tom obliku...

Ovo što ću vam danas pokazati je jedna kombinacija koju sam ranije već nosila, a za izradu sam koristila lakove koje ste ranije mogli da vidite na blogu. Golden Rose Rich Color 32 i Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 106.

As my nails grow, the more I like my new almond shape. So, according to that I'm wearing the type of manicures I always considered a better match for this shape.
Manicure I'm going to show you today I already wore, and I used nail polishes you could see on my blog before. Golden Rose Rich Color 32 and Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 106.

Kao što vidite, manikir je vrlo jednostavan. Nanijela sam dva sloja Rich Color 32, sačekala par minuta da se osuši pa četkicom nanosila Jolly Jewels 106 vodeći računa da najviše glitera bude pri korjenu nokta kako bih dobila taj"gradient"efekat.

Kada radite ovakve manikire vodite računa da vam na četkici ne bude previše laka. Obrišite višak o grlo bočice, pa u nekoliko navrata nanosite gliter. Na taj način ćete bolje rasporediti gliter, a nokti neće izgledati debelo.

As you can see, it is really simple to do. I applied two coats of Rich Color 32, waited a few minutes to dry and then applied Jolly Jewels 106 making sure that the most glitter is at the root of the nail to get that gradient effect.

When you do this kind of manicure, make sure that there is no too much nail polish on the brush. Wipe the excess, andrepeatedlyapply theglitter. In that way the glitter will spread properly, and your nails will not look too thick.

Naravo, preko svega sam nanijela sloj brzosušećeg nadlaka.

Šta vi mislite? Sviđaju li vam se ovakvi manikiri?
Hvala na čitanju...
Do sledećeg posta :***

Of course, I sealed the manicure with a layer of fast drying top coat. \

What do you think? Do you like manicures like this?

Till next post... :****

Ovaj protekli period je, vjerujem, većini bio prilično težak... Ni ja nisam bila izuzetak, i iako je poplava zaobišla moju kuću, neke od bližih članova porodice nije, tako da nisam imala ni volje ni vremena da pišem postove.

Sada kada se sve polako vraća u normalu i nokti se oporavljaju od čišćenja, možemo nastaviti da pričamo o noktima, lakovima itd. ...

Ali, prije nego što vam pokažem lak iz naslova, moram se "pohvaliti" da sam nedavno napisala saradnički post za jedan od najčitanijih blogova u BiH, MakeUp Arena, pa ukoliko vas zanima moja trenutna rutina njege noktiju zavirite u ovaj post (klik).

A sada malo o Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123...

Last month was a pretty tough for the most of us, I believe... I was no exception, and although the flood spared my house, some of my family members didn't, so I didn't have time or will to write posts.
Now, when everything going back to normal and my nails are recovering from cleaning, we can talk about polishes...

And, before I show you nail polish from the title, I have to share with you that I wrote a post for one of the best beauty blogs in my country, Make Up Arena, so if you want to know how I'm taking care of my nails check out this post (click)... It's in Serbian language, but you can always use Google Translate ;)

And, about that Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 123...

Kao i većina Jolly Jewels lakova, i ovaj se sastoji od kombinacije raznog glitera u providnoj bazi. Broj 123 sadrži crni, bijeli i srebrni (nešto sitniji) gliter, a evo kako izgleda na mojim noktima u kombinaciji sa Astor Fashion Studio 134.

Like the big most of the Jolly Jewel nail polishes, this one also contains a combination of a different glitters in a clear base. No.123 is a combination of black, white and silver (a bit smaller) glitter, and here is how it looks on my nails over Astor Fashion Studio 134.

Na slikama imam dva sloja Astor laka i samo jedan sloj JJ 123. Zaista je krcat gliterom i nema potrebe za više slojeva. Pomalo je problematičan za rasporediti, pa preporučujem da se umjesto klasičnog povlačenja četkicom nanosi tapkanjem po noktu.

On the pictures I have two coats of lilac nail polish and only one coat of JJ 123. It's really loaded with glitter and there is no need for extra layers. Also, it gives uneven coverage so I recommend applying by tapping on your nail.

Što se tiče skidanja, kao i kod svih gliterastih lakova koristila sam metodu sa folijom.

Ukoliko se i vama sviđa ovaj lakić a ne znate gdje da ga nađete, pogledajte u MakeUp Arena online prodavnici. Mislim da imaju i novu Expert Color liniju lakova, ali da još uvijek nisu stavljeni na sajt.

Pišite mi šta mislite o ovoj kombinaciji...

Do čitanja :***

When it comes to removing glitter nail polishes I always use the foil method.

If you like this nail polish and you don't know where to find it, check out the www.makeuparena.baonline store. I think they also have the new Expert Color collection.

What do you think about this combination?

Till next post :***

*Golden Rose lak je PR uzorak/ Golden Rose nail polish is a PR sample

Nedavno sam od jedne jako drage osobe na poklon dobila ovaj Dior lak koji ću vam danas pokazati. I iako definitivno ne spada u ljetne lakove, bila sam nestrpljiva da ga probam a ujedno i predstavim na blogu.

Koliko sam uspjela da shvatim, Gris Trianon 306 je izašao kao dio proljetne Cherry Bow kolekcije za 2013. godinu, ali je ostao kao dio stalne postave pod imenom Trianon 306.

A while ago I got this Dior nail polish as a gift from a dear friend, and even though it's not something that should be worn in summer I just had to try it and show it to you.

As much I could understand, Gris Trianon 306 was released as a part of the Cherry Bow spring 2013 collection. But, you can find it in Dior's permanent range under name Trianon 306.

Boja je jako neobična, nešto između nude/bež i sive, tzv, greige. Ali, ipak malo više na sivoj strani sa diskretnim roza/lila podtonom koji dolazi do izražaja na dnevnoj svejtlosti. Boja na noktima se prilično razlikuje od onoga kako izgleda u bočici, pa iako biste na prvu rekli da se radi o jednom klasičnom nude laku, količina sive bi vas mogla iznenaditi.

The color is very unusual, something between nude/beige and gray, so called greige. But, I would say it is more on the gray side with discrete pink/lilac undertone which finds his way out in the daylight. The color in the bottle is way different compared to the one you get when you apply it on the nails. The amount of gray in it could surprise you.

Formula je prilično dobra, sa dva sloja se dobije potpuno prekrivanje. A četkica je najsličnija onoj iz Golden Rose Rich Color lakova, samo što je malo zaobljenija na vrhu.

Šta vi mislite? Sviđa li vam se ovaj lakić?

Do čitanja :***

The formula is ok, not too thin, not too thick. It provides full coverage with two average coats. The brush is similar to the one in Golden Rose Rich Color nail polishes, just a bit more round at the top.

What do you think? Do you like this nail polish?

Till next post...

Prije nekog vremena na blogu ste imali priliku vidjeti dva Manhattan laka iz Pastel Pretties kolekcije, koja sam dobila na poklon. Svoje osuševljenje nijansama sam izrazila još tada, i ti lakovi su zaista po mom ukusu, kao da sam ih ja birala. Također, otkada sam ih ugledala imala sam u planu sa njima napraviti jedan gradient, pa evo kako je ispalo...

A while ago on this blog, you were able to see two Manhattan Pastel Pretties nail polishes I received as a gift back then. I told you how much I love the colors, and I still think the same. They are really my cup of tea, like I have chosen them. Also, since I laid my eyes on them, I knew I have to make a gradient and wear them together, so here's how it turned out...

Gradient sam radila tako što sam prvo nanijela dva deblja sloja Manhattan Pastel Pretties 004 (link), malo sačekala da se osuši pa parčetom spužvice za puder nanosila ljubičasti tj. Manhattan Pastel Pretties 003 (link). Na vrhove sam dodala malo laka četkicom, kako bi boja bila intenzivnija. Na kraju sam nanijela bogat sloj Essence nadlaka da izravna površinu nokta.

Nered koji je nastao tokom izrade manikira čistila sam malim kosim kistom za tuš i acetonom. Potrajalo je :D, a tragovi na kožici su nažalost vidljivi i na slikama. Nadam se da nećete zamjeriti ;).

For making the gradient effect, I first applied two coats of Manhattan Pastel Pretties 004 (link), waited a bit to dry and then using a little piece of foundation sponge applied the purple Manhattan Pastel Pretties 003 (link). To make the color more intense at the tips, I used a brush with a small amount of nail polish. At the end, I applied a thick layer of top coat to smooth the surface.

For cleaning the mess around the nails, I used small angled eyeliner brush and acetone. It took a while :D, and the traces are still visible on my cuticles. I hope you don't mind ;).

To je otprilike to što se tiče ovog posta. U nekom narednom periodu sam planirala objaviti nekoliko tutorijala što se tiče izrade malo težih manikira, pa pišite mi u komentarima da li vas to zanima.

I naravno, sviđa li vam se ova kombinacija boja? Volite li gradient efekat na noktima?

Puno pozdrava do sledećeg posta :****

That's about it for this time. In the upcoming period I planned to write more tutorials, so write me in the comments section would you like to read it.

And of course, do you like this color combination? Do you like gradient effect on nails?
